Congress recently enacted a continuing resolution to fund the federal government and extended vital healthcare provisions for another six months, including telehealth flexibilities. While telehealth CEOs commend this short-term win, they emphasize the need for permanent solutions to ensure broader access to virtual care. Stakeholders like Brooke Boyarsky Pratt and Vanessa Rissetto argue that telehealth is essential for health equity and accessibility, stressing the importance of a stable Medicare framework to support ongoing virtual healthcare delivery.
We hope to see permanent telehealth coverage across government programs, ensuring consistent, high-quality nutrition care for all Americans. This isn't just about convenience - it's about health equity, bridging gaps in access across gender, race and age.
This access matters for all seniors, not just seniors who live in rural areas. We've seen many patients with mobility issues, transportation issues, or folks who simply prefer the convenience of virtual care, who deserve access.
